Hawking dreams. How do survivor going to extricate himself from the situation 

in collaboration with Daniil Zinchenko, 22min, 2013

​

The project consists of two overlapping parts: the opening of the last exhibition of renowned art thinker Alexander Evangely and the movie, filmed directly at the opening and being an organic part of it.
Exhibition of A. Evangely has been fully curated, including the creation of the art work, by the Upward! community. Thus Alexander, as an author, had freedom only in the field of writing and announcing textmanifesto, everything else, including his actions and behavior during the opening, was dictated.
The exhibition was held in the constructed white cube 2x2x2 meters, situated on the bank of Moscow channel in Khlebnikov (several previous exhibitions of community been made there). Spectators traveled by trains and private transport.
Simultaneously with the opening were shooting of the videofilm of the same name, in which the Evangely and the artists girlfriend (as designated) was the main character's, the audience - extras, and then two guerrillas came to the exhibition. In a previous art work (used in "Altar of cosmism") guerrillas acquired fire in the forest in the cone (referring to the symbolic structure of the stupa - a round heaven and square dome bowl celestial waters). As a result, the girl (Muse) goes off into the darkness with the guerrillas, and the artist is burned in the cube.

The video is structured in two visual spaces - direct videodocumentation "opening of an exhibition video" and "cinematic" shooting. This correlates also with the general situation of the event, is in a state of quantum uncertainty: both show, but a film, the spectators but extras, exhibition of Evangely, but he is not the direct author, but there is a manifesto. This situation of uncertainty is the central part of the work, like the central, nodal point.

Video film premiere: February 2013 at Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow.
